“My girlfriend and I spend two weeks at this amazing place surfing and learning Spanish with the most kind & professional teachers that made school more fun than it has ever been!
The whole staff made an effort that was way beyond the expected. They helped us with accommodation, advise and planning for weekend trips, renting of surf gear, motorcycles, etc.
So if you’re looking for a chilled and social environment to pick up or practice your Spanish and surf, we would highly recommend you Outdoor Ecuador!
Also, Olón is a really nice little sleepy town with a relaxed local atmosphere just perfect for a longtime stay.”

“My family of four (two kids aged 10 & 13) had an amazing experience learning Spanish at Outdoor Ecuador. We were all at different levels but they worked with each of us to make sure we all progressed at our own speed. Not only did they teach us Spanish but about the local community and unique customs. Luis even worked with us to pick up our kids while we were working which made me feel so comfortable knowing who was driving my kids. He took them on field trips to practice and learn Spanish which really made it an Outdoor school. My daughter took 4 weeks of surfing and progressed so much. I loved the coordinated beach and dinner events as well. We really felt part of the Olon community in the 5 weeks we spent there and Outdoor Ecuador is a big reason why. Thank you to Leo, Luis, Manolo, and David. If you guys are ever in Southern CA, let us know.”

“Outdoor Ecuador is AMAZING. The Spanish classes are directly
catered to your needs and you have the ability to catch some waves at the beach a two minute walk from the school before/after class. I stayed for two weeks and they helped me with all of my housing. First, OE helped me match with an incredible host family.
Then, they helped me with my stay at the Ocean Blue Lodge. I can’t wait for my next trip back to Olon and Outdoor Ecuador!”

“Ivonne was quick and informative in her response from my original inquiry. Leo, from Outdoor Ecuador set me up in a room at Ocean Blue Lodge. A wonderful stay. The host Isabelle was very accommodating. I had 2 surf lessons from David. Who spoke excellent English, a competent surfer and superb instructor. Leo went out of his way to find me a paddle board which are few and far between in these parts.
My Spanish teacher, Nadine was exceptional. She is articulate, enthusiastic with a great sense of humor and made each day at Spanish class an inspiring experience.”
